Controls

The left and right buttons move you back and forward by one day. The numbered
button in the middle switches you between the calendar view and the page
view.

The
button at the top right lets you move from one page to another.

The calendar view

To go to a particular day, tap on the day.

To return to the page view without changing days, tap
the number between the arrows.

To go to any date using the standard Palm date selector,
tap on the heading that shows the name of the month.

The page view

To move backwards and forwards through the days, use the
left and right arrows at the top of the screen.

To go to the calendar view, tap the number between the
arrows.

To change which page you are viewing (Mass, Morning Prayer,
etc), press tap the button at the top right and then pick the page you want
from the list that appears.

The menu

To open the menu, tap the "Universalis" button at the top left
of the screen.

Fonts

You can choose the size and boldness of the font that you want Universalis
to use. In addition, you can choose whether Universalis should display
italic text using a synthesized italic font, or whether you prefer
it to be displayed in bold. The synthesized font isn't very readable
on old-style displays like the one in the picture, but modern higher-density
displays manage it quite well.

Calendars

This page lets you choose which local calendar you want Universalis to
use. You can also set the following options:

Invitatory Psalm: You can decide whether you want the
same Invitatory Psalm every day, or whether you want the psalm to change
every day, going through the four permitted options, as the Universalis
web site does.

Translations: For the Liturgy of the Hours, you can choose
whether to use the Grail translation of the psalms or the translation that
is used on the Universalis web site. (The scripture readings are always
in the Jerusalem Bible version).

Translations: For the readings at Mass, you can choose
whether to use the Jerusalem Bible and the Grail psalms (which are used
in the UK and many other parts of the world) or the New American Bible scripture
readings and psalms. The New American Bible option is only available if
you select one of the United States liturgical calendars.
